HUNTING. REEVE, J.S. Lyra Venatica. [8], 224 pp. 8vo., bound in modern three-quarter red morocco. London: Arthur L. Humphries, 1906.


First Edition. A charming collection of sixty hunting songs related specifically to hounds, foxes, and the chase, virtually all of which were published here for the first time. The compiler, J.S. Reeve, was master of Storrington beagles; to this collection he contributed the song "The S.H. 1892-1894" (i.e. Storrington hounds). The above compilation was begun by Reeve's father, to whom the book is dedicated. Fine copy, handsomely bound.
